Capital One may have been late to the lounge game, but it’s quickly catching up. The issuer now operates lounges in six U.S. airports — plus one more on the way — and each location brings its own flavor to the experience.
Whichever Capital One Lounge you visit, expect locally inspired food, drink, and decor, as well as thoughtful amenities. And for travelers with the right credit card, entry is free.
Here’s what you need to know about Capital One Lounges — where to find them, how to get in, and what sets them apart from the competition.

What Are Capital One Airport Lounges?
Capital One Lounges represent the issuer’s vision for the ideal airport lounge experience. In response to offerings like American Express Centurion® Lounges and Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club, each location features small plates (plus grab-and-go options), hand-crafted beverages, comfortable seating, workspaces with high-speed Wi-Fi, and more.
Additionally, Capital One introduced its Capital One Landing concept in late 2024. This type of lounge functions more like a high-end restaurant where you can reserve a table. So far, only one Capital One Landing location is currently open — at Washington National Airport (DCA).
In the table below, you can find the current list of Capital One Lounges, including the location, operating hours, and even the date it first opened its doors to eligible guests.

Capital One Lounge digital waitlist
In response to limiting overcrowding, Capital One rolled out a digital waitlist in early 2024. This feature, found in the Capital One mobile app, displays real-time lounge capacity. If the lounge is at full capacity, you can join the digital waitlist and get a text when you're next in line to be admitted.
Once your confirmation text arrives, you have 15 minutes to check in at the Capital One Lounge. If you don't check in on time, you'll lose your spot in line.
If you're arriving on a connecting flight, the best time to check capacity and join the waitlist is once the aircraft crew opens the door. Usually, the text arrives by the time you reach the lounge entrance. But note that your access is limited to three hours before your next flight takes off, so don't join the waitlist (or show up at the door) earlier than you should.
Where Are Capital One Airport Lounges?
Capital One Lounges are located in six airports across the United States. Five of the open lounges are standard Capital One Lounges, while the sixth is a Capital One Landing location. At the time of writing, lounges are open in the following airports:
- Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — Capital One Lounge
- Denver International Airport (DEN) — Capital One Lounge
- Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas (LAS) — Capital One Lounge
- John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York (JFK) — Capital One Lounge
- Washington National (DCA) — Capital One Landing
- Washington Dulles (IAD) — Capital One Lounge
Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Capital One Lounge
The Capital One Lounge in Dallas-Fort Worth was the card issuer's first — and remains one of the biggest and most amenity-packed spaces. Here, you'll find everything from a cycling and yoga studio to shower suites, an expansive bar, relaxation rooms, and more.
This lounge is located in DFW's Terminal D, near gate D22 — right next to the American Airlines Flagship Lounge.
Denver (DEN) Capital One Lounge
Capital One's Denver offering opened on November 3, 2023, and has since been a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of an increasingly busy airport. At this location, you'll find typical amenities such as high-speed Wi-Fi, shower suites, a parent's room, and more. Plus, you can sample the Denver-inspired rendition of Capital One's Perfect Airport Beer.
The Denver lounge is in DEN's Concourse A on the Mezzanine Level. It's past Gate A34 and up the nearby escalator.

New York City (JFK) Capital One Lounge
Capital One’s newest lounge opened at New York (JFK) on June 19, 2025, and it’s the issuer’s largest yet. This flagship space spans around 13,500 square feet and brings a distinctly New York feel to Terminal 4. From the chandelier at its center to the artwork lining its long hallways, the lounge is expansive and thoughtfully curated.
And there's local flair everywhere. There’s a cheesemonger counter in partnership with Murray’s Cheese, a bodega serving made-to-order bagels from Ess-a-Bagel, and a cocktail menu featuring spirits and beers from nearby producers. Capital One’s daily rituals are also part of the experience, including a JFK-exclusive midnight snack service.
You’ll find the lounge in the middle of the retail hall in Terminal 4. If you’re flying out of a different terminal, JFK’s free AirTrain makes it easy to connect; however, be sure to allow time to re-clear security. Once soft opening hours end on July 16, 2025, the lounge will stay open 24 hours a day as a nod to the city that never sleeps.

Las Vegas (LAS) Capital One Lounge
The Capital One Lounge in Las Vegas is the issuer's second newest lounge, having opened its doors to guests on February 21, 2025. Many of the elements in this lounge are noticeably unique to the city it's located in, including the artwork and hand-crafted beverages at the bar. If you visit, it's worth sampling the craft chili pepper vodka — something you won't find at any other Capital One Lounge.
Outside of the local elements, you'll find typical amenities such as an abundance of seating, workspaces, small plates, grab-and-go food, and more. However, you won't find shower suites or nursing rooms here.
This lounge is located in Terminal 1 of the Las Vegas airport in Concourse D. You'll spot it to the left of the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign.

Washington, D.C. (IAD) Capital One Lounge
The Capital One Lounge in Washington Dulles (IAD) has a cozier feel than most other Capital One Lounges, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This outpost has plenty of food, a lively bar, and plenty of sequestered areas where you can find some peace and quiet.
But like a couple of other lounges, this space doesn't offer showers. Moreover, when this lounge gets busy, it becomes harder to navigate the tight hallways and grab a couple of small plates without bumping into people. That said, this lounge is a massive improvement over the other lounge options in IAD.
You'll find this lounge in IAD's main terminal, located immediately after the PreCheck security checkpoint. But be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get to and from the lounge; it's not particularly close to any gates.

Washington, D.C. (DCA) Capital One Landing
The Capital One Landing location at Washington National Airport isn't a typical Capital One Lounge — but that doesn't mean it's not a great place to hang out before getting on an airplane. For all intents and purposes, a “Landing Lounge” is synonymous with a restaurant.
Here, you'll find a menu created by Chef José Andrés offering tapas-style plates and hand-crafted beverages. In the main part of the “lounge,” you can order as much as you'd like (for free) and have it delivered right to your table. And we should mention that if you want to grab a table at this lounge, you should consider making a reservation through the Capital One mobile app as far in advance as possible.
Outside of the lounge, you'll find the grab-and-go offerings. This food and beverage is not free, but Capital One Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders get 50% off all food and beverage purchased from the On the Fly counter while everyone else pays sticker price.
But unfortunately, DCA's Capital One Landing lacks amenities that many have come to appreciate at the issuer's larger lounges. You won't find shower suites, Peloton bikes, or nursing rooms here. At 5,500 square feet, it's a cozy space, but you should still enjoy your time here.
Capital One Airport Lounges Coming Soon
One additional Capital One Lounge is in the works. Details are slim, but we know that a Capital One Landing is under construction at New York LaGuardia (LGA).
New York City (LGA) Capital One Landing
Sometime in 2025, Capital One is expected to cut the ribbon on a Capital One Landing location in New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Like the Capital One Landing in Washington National Airport (DCA), this outpost will operate like a high-end restaurant but feature indoor and (possibly) outdoor seating.
When it opens, you'll find this lounge in Terminal B, and it's estimated that this lounge will measure nearly 11,000 square feet.
Final Thoughts
There are few better ways to spend your layover than dining, relaxing, or even freshening up in a Capital One Lounge. While Capital One's airport lounge network isn't the most expansive, it's quickly growing, which is welcome news if you're a Capital One Venture X or Venture X Business cardholder.
Beyond unlimited, complimentary access to Capital One Lounges, the Capital One Venture X and Venture X Business offer a great mix of benefits that make them indispensable to a wide range of travelers. With benefits that easily justify the $395 annual fee, it’s no surprise these cards are fan favorites.
However, it's worth noting that the guest access policy for Capital One Lounges will change on February 1, 2026. In short, free guest access is going away. There will still be a way to bring guests, but you’ll need to pay for it. Click here to learn more about the changes, which Capital One announced well in advance.
